Chickasaw, Okla

The Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association is currently investigating the theft of 500 head of feeder heifers and steers taken from October 2012 until todays date. The cattle were all stolen from the same ranch, owned by Bryan Linn, located north of Chickasaw, Oklahoma. Linn's cattle only go to the feedlot after sale so none of his branded cattle, in the 500 to 800 lb range should be observed outside the feedlot.

Linn's brand is that of an "I" on the left hip with a cowboy hat over it.

Pettis, Oklahoma

On June 20th, 2013, Mark Edwards reported to the Pettis County Sheriff's Office the fencing at his farm had been cut and 4 cows were missing. Mr. Edwards said upon checking on them this afternoon he discovered 4 holes cut into his fence line. Mr. Edwards said the cattle were black Angus heifers, 3-4 years old and had white numbered ear tags and 2 light blue fly tags in each ear. It appears the suspects had attempted to load the cattle through the first hole in the fence and as the cattle moved away from them they continued cutting the holes in the fence until they reached the gate at which point 4 cattle were loaded, possibly into a truck.
